It's pretty popular around the Reds blog-o-sphere to say "Free (insert name here)". The longer we go without the Reds organization "free-ing" Drew Stubbs, the more I lose faith. Now, I'm not one of those who constantly beats the drum for minor leaguers because I know fans want them up sooner than they are ready (Homer Bailey, Jay Bruce come to mind), but Drew Stubbs has earned his chance to see if he measures up.

Good freakin' God he can't do any worse than Willy Taveras. What in the world are we waiting on? There is room on the 40-man if you put Volquez on the 60-day D.L.

Simply: let's wake up and get a little proactive. Who else is tired of the same old CRAP out in center field?
